Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I always mean to push myself out of my comfort zone and then it just never happens — the months slip by and I default to easy.
• I’ve gotten comfortable and competent at what I do, and I can feel myself coasting
• I keep telling myself I’ll do things once I feel up to it, and that moment just never arrives
• It’s always the same thing that knocks me off
• There’s one thing I genuinely want to do that I keep saying I’ll get to "next year," and it never moves because I’ve never once put real money or an actual date on it
